2013 general wishlist

See Wishlists for a(n incomplete) listing of wishlists at all wikis.

A wish list. These would be nice to have one day.

Redesign

home page of wikimediafoundation.org
green error page (this might be tracked by a bug)
Wikisource desperately needs layout/design love to make its dry texts more engaging (and usable and...)
some of the www portals
see also: design

Mailing lists search doesn't exist
- Especially problematic for private lists
Media search on Commons is terrible
- Files
  - Search by size
  - Search by keyword
  - Search by shape?
  - Search by file type
- Audio and video
  - Length
- Images
  - Search by color
  - Fuzzy image searching (for dupes, etc.)!
w:Wikipedia:Dump reports — regexing wikitext
- Laxative
- BigQuery? Hadoop? Something else? This is possible now, just needs implementation; could standardize lots of articles more easily

Configuration user interface for MediaWiki
- Also has to support Wikimedia wikis (oh God)
Queued user renames
User deletion/deactivation process (there's a bug about this somewhere)
- Related to both: abstractify the MediaWiki database; stop storing username everywhere (there's no bug or RFC for this currently)

Write a proper Wikimedia Shop (this has a bug somewhere)
- Localization!
- Flexible galleries
- Use a wiki; tie into payments.wikimedia.org; there's a bug about this somewhere
[Python] Help out with the XML dump scripts
Wikimedia needs an analytics infrastructure...
[salt; Python; Puppet] Help with Wikimedia Labs
Work toward disabling miser mode ([fix me: bug link])
For a start, we want a better indexing system for bugs (bugzilla:38994)
- Just being able to find all Wikisource or all Wikinews bugs would be good; and being able to measure overlap to optimize/maximize resource allocation on certain projects
  - Example: adding a custom inter-namespace tab (bugzilla:13228) might help Wikinewses and Wiktionaries
